EMMANUEL CERVANTES

Emmanuel Cervantes

Emmanuel Cervantes, 35, of Lafayette, IN, passed away on May 15, 2014. He was affectionately known as “Manny” to his friends and family.

Manny was the type of person we often don’t come across. He was an artist, philosopher, visionary, a
nd adventurer. He loved his life and lived each day to the fullest. He found beauty where it’s often overlooked and was always filled with hope for a better tomorrow. When he walked into a room, it was immediately consumed with positive energy. His laugh and smile were contagious. Manny was a great listener and teacher who was always there for friends, family, and general acquaintances to offer advice or a consoling heart. He sought positive change in the world and did his part to make it happen. Those that had to pleasure to know and love him are all better off because of the positive light he radiated. He demonstrated, through example, the importance of embracing one’s individuality, seeking inner peace and living a purposeful life.
